AbsolutKazakh 0 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tP9B5DL1oEc Gold. Just gold I actually feel bad for her. She has probably been training her whole life for that. She looked young so she probably has more opportunites but damn...that hurts. But hey, maybe she should do boxing.

Meenzer 15094 Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Just watching the end of the showjumping on the Beeb now. I realise it's a posh sport (and not really much of one at that), but it's hilarious hearing the BBC commentators pretending they're not willing the others to fail now that the British lass has racked up a clear round.

Aye, but if she'd not failed so stupendously (which she wouldn't have done with a safe weight, not maybe Citius, Altius, Fortius though ) she might have been paying more attention/crying less and not done it. Although having said that it's fairly common for them to walk into things, probably due to all the dizziness/faintness that goes with the sport.

acrossthepond 852 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Just watched Michael Phelps in the 200m freestyle final, oh my god, how good is he ! Looks like Mark Spitz record might finally be broken. I can't bear that name any longer. You have no idea what kind of media wankfest is going on over him over here. American commentary is always cringeworthy, not to mention that they don't even bother showing events Americans aren't in, but this Phelps furore has almost sent me over the edge, I was seriously considering hoying a marble coaster at the TV yesterday.

Sima 0 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Phelps becomes the greatest ever Olympian. Now sitting on 11 golds, 5 in Beijing. Not back in action until Friday morning now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawD 99 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 You dont reach Olympic greatness until you have a computer game named after you. More so if you have one that actually makes the keyboard melt during play (Decathlon on the rubber keyed Spectrum!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 So Phelps has won 5 gold medals so far all in world record times?

I guess these new swimming suits are doing what all the experts thought they would loads of WR being smashed. I wonder when they are going to end up having to legislated against stuff like that. Especially in swimming it's a big effect, probably nearly as big (with/without) as an athlete being on performance enhancing drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
